NEW YORK -Mayor Michael Bloomberg has decided to try to reverse the term-limits law he had long supported so he can seek a third term next year and help the city emerge from financial turmoil, a person close to the mayor told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Bloomberg made the decision over the weekend and will announce it Thursday, according to the person, who has been briefed on the matter but spoke on condition of anonymity because the announcement hasn't been made. The person said the mayor has been wrestling with the decision for the past couple of months.

I say no. Just bow out and let the next man do his thing. If we allow our officials to decide they wanna keep leadership just because then we will lose as a people.

I don't mind it. I like Bloomberg. He still has to get re-elected for that third term and so does everyone else. It's not like he automatically goes into it. It wouldn't really do that much harm. If one is doing a good job, why not stay on for 4 extra years?

I don't have too much of a problem with his running for a third term, but I think the best use of his ability would be to help the next president as a financial adviser or treasury secretary. That's what he's good at and, considering the economic mess that this country is in, I think he's needed most on the new president's economic team.
